I realize that camera choices are as numerous as the people that use them and can be really personal but I am looking for some suggestions on cameras.

I have been using a canon rebel XTi FOR MANY years now but I am wanting to shoot more video now so I want something that will do both. For video, I want HD 1080p ability and 60 fps at least with something that is going to pick up sound well. I have been leaning toward the rebel T5i after some recommendations I found online but it's a DSLR and is heavy compared to some point and shoots. But I like the ability to add an exterior mic if needed.

So the questions are:

1. what camera do you use?
2. what do you mostly use it for?
3. why did you choose that camera?
4. What do you like/dislike now that you've had it a while?

I'm using the GoPro I use in the field. There's something to be said for using the same equipment in both situations so that you have that "muscle memory" so that you don't forget o push that one button you should have pushed----

Its the camera I started with and I briefly considered upgrading to a DSLR, but wanted to get into some two camera stuff in the hiking vids, I also knew that I needed to improve the sound on the Go Pro, and that the sound in any DSLR within my financial reach would also need a sound upgrade. In the end, I decided I'd work on the sound and use my phone's camera for the second camera for the field work. That way I could afford to upgrade the sound on both the phone and the Go Pro and when I upgrade to a DSLR as a second camera, I'd have the sound issues for both already solved.

I have a dslr that j am going to try and use one day but my main problem is uploading. So, I use the camera in my pocket, the one that's inalways with me, that is the iPhone 6s. It's not that bad on quality in all honesty. But for me, I can upload the video straight from my phone which is perfect for me.
I know that won't really help you though.
